CLF-C02 · Question #368
A company wants to run its application's code without having to provision and manage servers. Which AWS service will meet this requirement?
The correct answer is B. AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda is the correct choice because it is AWS's serverless compute service - you upload your code and Lambda runs it on demand without you ever provisioning, patching, or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time consumed. Why the distractors are wrong: A. AWS Glue

Explanation
AWS Lambda is the correct choice because it is AWS's serverless compute service - you upload your code and Lambda runs it on demand without you ever provisioning, patching, or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time consumed.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A. AWS Glue - a managed ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) service for data integration and analytics pipelines, not general application code execution.
- C. AWS CodeDeploy - automates deploying application code to servers (EC2, on-premises), but you still need to manage those servers yourself.
- D. Amazon CodeGuru - an AI-powered developer tool for code reviews and profiling to find bugs and performance issues, not for running code.
Memory tip: Think of Lambda as "just the function" - you write the logic, AWS handles everything else. The word Lambda (λ) in math represents a function, which maps perfectly to its purpose: run a function, no servers required.
